What is an eating concern?

饮食问题 include disordered or chaotic eating patterns, and eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, 暴食症, and binge eating disorder. An eating concern may also involve body dissatisfaction, obsession with exercise, or eating that is dictated by externally-connected cues such as counting calories instead of internal controls of hunger and satiety.

例子包括:

  • irregular or chaotic eating 
  • 禁食
  • 暴食
  • 节食
  • 情绪化进食
  • feeling remorse or guilt after eating
  • preoccupation with food and weight
  • 在锻炼

Signs and symptoms of 饮食问题 include:

  • Preoccupation with your weight or shape, food, or exercise
  • Isolation or avoidance of social situations because there will be food present
  • Inability to menstruate
  • Feeling out of control while eating or around food
  • A negative attitude about your body, weight, or shape; often comparing yourself to others
  • Unhealthy relationship with food and exercise
  • Extreme weight fluctuations
  • Inability to partake in activities that you used to enjoy
  • Feeling numb and empty inside like your life lacks fulfillment or happiness
